Wayne Wang's experimental style of guerrilla filmmaking was met with legal consternation by Disney attorneys after Wayne used Mickey Mouse ear caps in a scene as a satirical prop for his scathing commentary on the cultural effects of global capitalism in a pre-emerging China. Subsequently the Disney icons were digitally fogged out of all exhibition prints.
The US distributor shunned the MPAA's decision to grant the film an X rating and, instead of censoring it for an R, released it to theaters unrated. However, marketing for the film self-proclaimed it with a "A" rating for adults only. This decision was praised by film critics Siskel and Ebert who had noted many times for the need of a rating between R and X that designated a film as for adults only, but did not give the impression of pornography that X came with. Two years later the MPAA replaced X with NC-17.
Although critics Siskel and Ebert openly praised the film's "Rated A" marketing strategy which shed light on the ineffective nature of the MPAA's X-rating, the critics also felt the film itself was not deserving of "thumbs up."
Contains one of the very longest foot chase sequences in film history.
